Andy will next move onto the Masters 1000 event in Miami next week in a desperate bid to find form and reverse his fortunes from Indian Wells this past week. The Scot, who will have a huge chance of clinching the title, will be seeded #2 behind World No.1 Novak Djokovic, with big names such as Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer not hitting the courts this week. Fans of Murray should not fret though as a win here will secure Andy the World No #2 spot in the rankings after the tournament.

'Desperate bid'? That might have been a fair comment the last two years but come on the guy made the QFs after a period not playing matches. Of course, he should have done better but no cause for desperation and I'm sure Andy isn't feeling desperate.

I hope he does well nevertheless not least as I don't think I'll be able to watch until towards the end of the week. But of course more importantly it would be great, if he could win it and get back that #2 slot.

doesn't make him desperate. And nor should we be or hype up the significance of him not playing anything like his best in his first tournament back after a training break and in conditions that no longer seems to suit his gane. As bbh comments, a tad OTT.

The Court conditions in Miami will be much more to Andy's liking (and Djoker's). The high bounce and slow conditions in IW are a joke - sure DP has played really well but he won't get the same amount of time in Miami just to hit balls back into court all day long waiting for the other guy to miss.

I wouldn't suggest he is laid-back about it, but neither is he desperate. He sounds pretty philosophical and positive to me, which is right given that he hadn't played for six weeks, was playing in conditions that don't suit him and hadn't got out of the second round for the two previous years.

Miami suits Andy far more than IW.

Andy sounds positive to me, so thanks for posting the article. Also I'm prepared to believe Delpo's success in IW will have a good motivational effect on Andy.

Are you suggesting I posted that out of anger? If so your way out of line.

No I wasn't, being on a high or in the dumps has nothing to do with anger. Look at who or what comes at the end of statement and you should have seen it was very much tongue in cheek.However I think you should rephrase what you have written as it is not accurate for the reasons Teejay gave you.

A friend told me. I'm sure also Rafa said earlier this year that he would play one of his choice, but not both.

What Rafa said earlier might not be of any relevance now. As for your friend - tell him that, according to ATP rules, if Rafa had pulled out of Miami whilst still participating in IW he would have had to forfeit the tournament, unless he came up with an acceptable excuse.
